Villa Karaway (VK) is the ultimate Puerto Vallarta Beach Villa! A rare find on the powdery sands of Puerto Vallarta. The home is RIGHT on the beach. Please read the entire description, but first some ideas to save money and select the proper home.

When shopping for a home for your hard earned vacation in PV, make sure the ask the following:
1. Is the home right on the beach, or do you have to walk to the beach?
2. Is there SAND on the beach? Except for downtown and north of town, sandy beaches are rare. We have sand on our beach!
3. Are there any additional charges? VK rates are all inclusive, you just pay for the food and drinks that our chief prepares, along with tips.
4. Exactly where are you located in PV? No hype from us. You are 6 km south of town (about 12 minutes away), so you have the town amenities, without the hustle an bustle. We are right on the bus route (50 cents to town), or cabs are usually parked by the complex ($6 into town).

With over 5000 square feet of pure luxury, this four bedroom, five bath vacation rental is ideal for corporate meetings, family reunions, or just an intimate get-away. Many rooms have 12-foot high ceilings - just right for bringing in the incredible views of the Bay and Mountain Ranges around Puerto Vallarta.

See the end of this description for other guest comments, but this comment from a NYC guest sums it up - "Absolute Paradise!" Make sure the visit our web site for even more pictures and information. The address is listed at the bottom.

Make no mistake - this villa is right on the beach. The beach is beautiful with a protective rock reef creating a wonderful family swimming area and an incredible sandy beach. Let the professional staff of a full-time maid and gourmet cook pamper you. It is your vacation - so enjoy it!

You enter your two-story vacation home (named "Villa Karaway") from a private iron gate into a masterfully constructed tiled hallway. To the right, past the sitting area, is the lower bedroom with two single beds (all rooms have air conditioning, except for this bedroom, but has a ceiling fan), a walk-in closet, and private bath. Close by is the washer and dryer. To the left of the hallway is the open-air patio with splendid plants.

Up five tile-covered steps is another hallway. Turn left and you enter the gourmet kitchen (Viking stove, Sub-Zero refrigerator), bar, walk-in pantry, table for four, and bathroom. Proceeding past the kitchen is the dining room with seating for eight. Past the dining room is the living room with floor-to-ceiling glass sliding walls to another outdoor patio with lighted palms, the downstairs porch, and the private infinity pool. Just past your pool is the wonderous Los Palmares Beach.

Proceed the other way down the entrance-way hallway and you arrive at bedroom two. This is a bedroom with two double beds, a large walk-in closet, and an even larger bathroom. There is a large window that opens to the interior patio. Up the stairs further is bedroom three with two double beds, 12-foot high ceiling, a large window opening to the interior patio, TV and VCR, and private bath.

Further down the hallway is the ultimate, master bedroom with a king-size bed. Floor-to-ceiling movable windows separate the bedroom to the upstairs patio. There is also a large window providing a view to the famous Los Arcos islands just off the shore of Puerto Vallarta. The master also contains a sitting area, large walk-in closet, and a bath that is also a jetted tub, steam, and a ten-side spigot shower. For those that are traditional, a normal showerhead is available. A telescope is provided to further enjoy the breathtaking views. These views include dolphins and whales playing in one of the largest bays on the continent.

You will NOT be DISAPPOINTED with Karaway or the Los Palmares facilities! Villa Karaway is part of the classy Los Palmares Resort. It was recently completed in late 1999. Everything is gleaming new, including the large infinity pool, jacuzzi, kid's pool, beach club, restaurant, and exercise room. There is also ample parking and 24-hour security. It is located just under six kilometers to the south of downtown Puerto Vallarta and is on the city bus route for easy transportation.

New! Just added - high speed, internet connection! We also have a wireless hub for your connection if you have a wireless laptop. We now have a computer and a local internet connection at no additional charge. We also have a phone for free, unlimited phone calls back to the US and Canada.

Guest book comments (we would put in more, but have a space limitation):
September 2003: "What a breathtaking house surrounded by such a magnificent setting. I now have a concrete vision of what heaven might really look like when I close my eyes. I honestly don't think that it is possible to describe with mere words. From the lush, green hillside to the sun setting into the ocean...from Adela's unbelievable Mexican feast to the kind smiles and welcoming faces of everyone we encountered...It is truly a memory that we will carry with us forever.

"What a marvelous place to come and visit. We just don't want to go home. God's seam between land and water, and right in the middle is your beautiful casa." -Guests, Denver, CO

"WOW!" - Austin TX

"If you don't love this - give up! You won't be happy in heaven!" - Chicago, IL

  • I cannot even describe how much fun we had and how beautiful your place is...The picture you have on your site cant begin to even describe that place in person. The villa is above and beyond what I could have possibly imagined that villa to be...honestly the pictures do it no justice once you see it in person. Elba cooked amazing and our group has said over and over we cant wait to go back and have spoken about when many of us could make it back. That was the best place I have ever stayed in my life! I have never been on vacation and not wanted to leave the area we were staying in and we didn’t want to even go shop, afraid to miss out on one second of being around that condo and everything it has to offer right there on the beach! We got married right on the beach November 7, 2009 and I can not imagine it anywhere else. This was my first visit to PV and I will go back as fast as I possibly can. We had 11 people stay in the villa total and we had so much room! I felt famous living there for a week!! Many of us have said it was the best vacation we have ever had! That place is indescribable! The pool of our own and a bigger one down the way and then a beach feet from you, you couldn’t ask for anything better. We had a blast and I have so many photos and memories to cherish! We usually go to Maui every year, and I never thought I could like anything as much and now I have another love!!!!!!!! We stayed 6 days and that needs to be longer for sure now that we know whats there! Also Enrique is the has the best customer service and has been nothing but help since minute one. He is so kind and anything you need he figures it out and gets you the info you need, AMAZING! Thank you , I am so glad I booked with you, it could not have been better! Thanks again Wayne, Stephanie Burnett and Angel Ayala

  • Wayne, I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to write. Wanted to publicly thank you and your staff for making my 50th birthday in August 2006, the best vacation and birthday I have ever had. From the transportation to and from the airport; lunch waiting for us upon our arrival; beautiful flowers delivered; to assisting my daughter with dinner reservations at Vista Grill (my favorite) and the wonderful coconut birthday cake; to arranging for spa services at the villa; for keeping the house spotless; the incredible meals and margaritas by Elba, I thank you! My daughter and I talked about Villa Karaway so much that my husband wants to visit! Also, thank you to Enrique!

  • Dear Mr. Harding, We can not thank you enough for generously allowing us to share your gorgeous home. You allowed us the opportunity of a life time and the fact that we could share this experience with our children made it all the more of a blessing. The beach was not only beautifully breathtaking but the fact that it was semi private ( at least that was how it seemed) made the vacation so much more relaxing. Gloria was so diligent about making sure the home was clean and fresh and Elba's cooking was extraordinary comparable to any gourmet restaurant. Thank you for making this trip possible for us. We really needed some pampering after a pretty tough year and Villa Karaway gave us just that. Thank you again. IT was the best place we ever stayed. I would love to go again. Rachel (age 15) I loved the people who helped us and took care of the grounds and pools. Corine (14) Thank you for letting us stay at your place. It was really fun. I really really like the beach and the ocean- Alexander (6) I loved to swim in the pool - Lauren (3) Thank you again. Sincerely, The Lynch Family

  • We LOVED Villa Karaway!!!!! What a fantastic and private getaway! Everything necessary for a family dream vacation in sunny Puerto Vallarta! I would recommend Villa Karaway to ANY friends as a totally unique, beautiful, romantic, and relaxing villa! Adela's cooking was fabulous as usual (this was my third third year) with all the trimmings and glitter of a non-stop Mexican feast! The pools, ocean, accomodations, and fabulous scenic views are the best you could imagine! Thank you Karen and Wayne for creating a perfect family getaway in an exotic and fun filled City! BRAVO!!!!!

  • The Whale Watching was awesome!Last night the golden glow around a full moon over the ocean was just another beautiful piece of scenery we endured! After two weeks of wonderful cooking and care by Adela and Gloria we realize it will be hard to leave this majestic place! We have to compliment the owners of this beautiful property as we can say without exception you have thought of everything to make your guests stay comfortable and happy.
